[Brainiacs:]
No, no, no, noooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don’t mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

[Skaterdude:]
Listen well
I’m ready to tell
About a need that I cannot deny
Dude, there’s no explanation
For this awesome sensation
But I’m ready to let it fly

[Dudes & Dudettes:]
Speak your mind and you’ll be heard

[Skaterdude (spoken):]
Alright, if Troy wants to be a singer… then I’m coming clean! I play the cello!

[Dude 1 (spoken):]
Awesome!

[Dude 2 (spoken):]
What is it?

[Dude 1 (spoken):]
A saw!

[Skaterdude (spoken):]
No, dude, it’s like a giant violin!

[Dudes & Dudettes:]
Not another word

[Dude 2 (spoken):]
Do you have to wear a costume?

[Skaterdude (spoken):]
Coat and tie

[Dudes & Dudettes:]
No, no, no, nooooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don’t mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quoooooooo

[Jocks, Brainiacs, & Dudes:]
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don’t mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

[Sharpay:]
This is not what I want
This is not what I planned
And I just gotta say
I do not understand
Something is really…

[Ryan:]
Something’s not right

[Sharpay:]
…really wrong

[Sharpay & Ryan:]
And we gotta get things
Back where they belong
We can do it

[Skaterdude:]
Gotta play

[Dudes & Dudettes:]
Stick with what you know

[Sharpay & Ryan:]
We can do it

[Martha Cox:]
Hip hop hooray!?

[Brainiacs:]
She has got to go

[Sharpay & Ryan:]
We can do it

[Zeke:]
Creme Brulee?

[Jocks:]
Keep your voice down low

[Jocks, Brainiacs & Dudes/Dudettes:]
Not another peep
No, not another word
No, not another sound
No

[Sharpay:]
Everybody quiet!

[Gabriella (spoken):]
Why is everybody staring at you?

[Monique (spoken):]
Not me, you.

[Gabriella (spoken):]
Because of the callbacks? I can’t have people staring at me! I really can’t!

[Jocks, Brainiacs...:]
Noooooooooooooo, no, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you want to be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don’t mess with the flow, oh no
Stick to the status quooooooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don’t mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status
Stick to the status
Stick to the status quo
